CLZ Barry - Barcode Scanner App Reviews

The app i was waiting for

Top software. Saves a lot of time.

Clzs Barry app works seamless with my movie collector. Kudos to Clz for there programs. I cant imagine what they will do next

Ive been a loyal registered user of the Movie collector software. For a number of years Ive only been entering my new movies as I got them... but all those 1000+ movies I had before starting to use Collectorz Movie collector software never got entered (simply because of the volume of work itd be to do it manually). This has made entering them in the database a snap! Be sure to review their documentation (links can be found through their most helpful forum) before you start to use it. Once you have it set up along with the little Barry app on your PC, scanning is a breeze. Havent run into any problems with the app today. GREAT job, certainly worth the $7.99 investment. A+++ app! Great job and superb value.

This might be the worst app yet that Ive downloaded. Id have said it was completely useless but just when the frustration of using it had me about ready to chuck my iPhone or iPad2 (Ive tried it on both) through the window it unexpectedly notices and scans a barcode. When it does, it quickly looks up and identifies the book but who wants to spend 20 - 30 minutes trying to find just the right angle and lighting to get it to scan. Im not even making it hard for the app - Im testing it on nice big clear barcodes on the back of good condition books. At $8 this is an "expensive" iPhone app (okay, they are all pretty cheap but relative to others its expensive) which just adds insult to injury. Not impressed!

Does exactly what you want. Very fast and accurate!

App works well with Collector program but it is VERY slow to detect barcode. I note that someone has had same problem but not everybody - is this related to platform? Im using my iPod. Other barcode apps e.g. Pict2shop works much faster - finds barcode easily. Please fix this bug as I am keen to buy CZ databases but wont if the scanner is too slow

Brutal app, worked 1 in 30 so far, tomorrow Im gonna buy a hand held barcode scanner one that works. Good idea, just doesnt work like its supposed to. I want my 7.99 back!!!

Quick, affordable and accurate. What more can you ask for.

No complaints. Would love to see OCR support for ISBN numbers that dont come with a bar code. Lets just say I have an old collection to catalogue

Love this! Works great and is always with me

Despite what other reviews complain about I have no issues with this app at all. Scans many comics in seconds and quickly transfers info to the database. What used to take 5-10 minutes to add just a couple comics now takes 5-10 seconds. I will say it took a few minutes to figure out how the app and the database work together but take the time to read the instructions and the problems disappear.

This is a fantastic easy to use app. No matter your level of computer skill anyone can use and enjoy this tool.

Awesome program. I suggest to anyone using collectorz movie database to get buddy for Barry. Its worth it

Works superbly. Only comment would be the lack of in app instruction. Fortunately it was reasonably simple to get working so even that is minor.

Works perfectly and is useful even if you dont use Collectors database programs. I had no problem scanning a number of different types of bar and QR codes.

Since Ive purchased this app and all the related app from this developer it has never worked properly, always an other update, always un other program to purchase and then surprise it still not work as it is supposed. I have contacted the customer support and they manage to blame it all on me, its again the same explanation "you do not have the right version and should purchase this one" After all the money and time I have wasted on this I have erased it form my device. It does not work!

I use this app in combination with the various Collector applications on my laptop. Apps like this make me glad I got an iPhone! Its relatively easy to scan in the barcodes for many books. The collections Im cataloging include a number of old books, so that means its back to manual entry. But newer books! Wow! The app grabs all sorts of detail for me and populates the fields in the database in my laptop. Ive learned to note when the barcode scan returns a blank. In those cases, I look for another barcode. Ive found that, on a number of my paperbacks, the ISBN barcode is inside the front cover. I hate fiddling with barcodes partially, or fully, covered by bookstore price tags or other labels. This app has taken hours off the process of cataloging and packing up the collections of books shared by me and my friends. Generally easy to use, which is good because I find the manual a bit too brief.

Tried this app with our database software that has a scanning utility. Was looking for a way that I did not have to buy a whole bunch of $800 scanners since all of our techs have iPhones. This app allows us to do inventory counts and batch load them later or scan them real time into our database.

Great app. Would prefer if it could tell you the grade prices.
